Central venous catheter fracture presenting as pain on flushingEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
We report two patients who developed localized pain on flushing the catheter. Radiological investigation revealed fluid leakage from the CVC, from a fracture within the skin tunnel in one case, and from the intravascular segment, with venous backflow probably related to a sleeve thrombus, in the other.

Administration of Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716 does not prevent intestinal bacterial translocation in ascitic cirrhotic ratsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Background & aims: Prophylaxis of bacterial infections in cirrhosis is based on the administration of non-absorbable antibiotics to decontaminate the gut and to avoid intestinal bacterial translocation, leading to the appearance of resistances. We assessed the usefulness of the probiotic Lactobacillus fermentum CECT 5716 on the incidence of intestinal bacterial translocation in ascitic cirrhotic rats.Methods: 27 rats with CCL4-induced cirrhosis and 16 healthy rats were treated with L. fermentum CECT 5716 (109UFC/day) or placebo as follows: cirrhosis+probiotic (A, n=12), cirrhosis (B, n=15), healthy+probiotic (C, n...

Growth hormone responses to ingestion of soyprotein with or without fat and/or carbohydrate in humansEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Summary: Background & aim: Growth hormone (GH) is an important regulator of growth and body composition. It has been shown that GH release can be promoted by administration of various amino acids, such as arginine and lysine, that are present in soyprotein. Soyprotein ingestion increases GH secretion more than the ingestion of a combination of arginine and lysine. The GH promoting effect of soyprotein however is not present when soyprotein is ingested combined with carbohydrate and fat. The aim of this study is to investigate whether carbohydrate or fat eliminates the GH promoting effect of soyprotein.Methods: We compared ...

Effect of taurine on toxicity of aluminum in ratsEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: However, these toxic effects of aluminum were significantly reduced when the rats fed diet with taurine added. Furthermore, the level of aluminum in the feces of rats treated with taurine and aluminum was higher than that of rats treated with aluminum alone. It indicated that taurine might play a role in reducing the toxic effect of aluminum in rats. (Source: e-SPEN, The European e-Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism)

Summary: Background & aims: Nutritional risk on admission to hospital, which turns out to be high in most countries, was investigated. However, when consulting the “malnutrition-mapping” in Europe, the lack of Italian data raises attention. Accordingly, we designed a multidisciplinary, cross-sectional survey: the PIMAI study (Project: Iatrogenic MAlnutrition in Italy).Methods: Patients were enrolled from 13 large (>400beds) multidisciplinary hospitals. Randomly selected adult (>18-year-old) patients were included according to a 4-strata model by gender and age ( (Source: e-SPEN, The European e-Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism)

Oral feeding, by stimulating salivary secretion with its formidable antibacterial properties, may have advantages over enteral tube feeding which bypasses this process. Oral proprietary feeds may be used to provide the patient's entire nutritional requirements or, more commonly, to supplement the diet when the patient is unwilling or unable to take enough normal food. This is particularly common among the elderly. The use of sip feeds, of course depends upon the ability to swallow and the absence of esophageal or gastric obstructions.

Once the route of feeding has been chosen and the solution has been identified, it is necessary to decide how it can best be given to the patient. A multi-professional approach is essential to ensure that all clinical constraints e.g. treatments, nursing schedules are considered. It is also important to involve the patient/carers in this decision particularly if long-term feeding is likely. (Source: e-SPEN, The European e-Journal of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism)
